The beautiful Maldives islands have always been famous among travelers and nature enthusiasts for their crystal-clear waters, diverse biospheres, and balmy weather. Here are some tips you should keep in mind when planning your dream trip to the Maldives.
Best times to visit
At the risk of stating the obvious, it is infinitesimally better to avoid the monsoon season for you don’t want to be soaked through your tropical vacation. If you can, avoid the period from May to August and try the sweet spot between the peak season and off-season; you can get the best deals for luxury resort Maldives.
Book all your hotels and flights ahead
As you already know, the Maldives is a coveted vacation spot. So, it is in your best interest to book your flights and accommodation well ahead of your trip, especially if you’re planning to visit during the peak or shoulder seasons. Luxury villas and islands such as the likes of OZEN Reserve Bolifushi get fully booked super-fast! A bonus of being diligent – you can get crazy deals and advanced booking offers from many hotels and resorts!
Plan according to where you’re staying
Now that you have your flights booked and hotels reserved, think about what you actually want to do there. You have to pay attention to things that you may need once you get to the islands such as transportation and if you’re traveling with kids you need to plan your activities accordingly and carry safety equipment.
Pay attention to what you’re packing
Being rebellious is all fun and games until you get yourself thrown in jail in a foreign land. Make sure you don’t pack any alcohol, tobacco, pork, or any religious literature or material. It is also recommended that you pack clothes that cover your shoulders, knees, and legs along with your swimsuits as the Maldives is an Islamic country and therefore expect modesty in public places.
Be aware of hidden taxes and scams
Like any other country, there are tourist traps in the Maldives as well. If you’ve never been before it is likely that you’re more susceptible to these than someone who has seen it all before. Always check for the public prices for anything that you buy or rent because otherwise, you’ll end up paying through your nose for nothing.
